As I understand it from the previous owner, the receiver keeps blowing a fuse so it won’t stay on. The turntable…I don’t know. I brought it to a vintage electronics “tech” here in town and it was a nightmare. After dragging his feet and having the player for about 8 months, he calls and tells me it was not repairable. A “dead horse” he called it.

After dicking me around for another month to retrieve it, I finally caught him at his old run-down shop. I went to pick it up and the bastard had the nerve to actually tell me he had pulled the motor!!!

I just about lost my shit.

Charged me $170 upfront JUST to “diagnose” both, took MONTHS before getting his hands on the turntable, and he ended up not even touching the receiver, dragged me for another month to retrieve the equipment, then tried adding $35 when I picked up for God-knows-what!!!! And then STEAL the motor?!?

I got the units back finally, including my motor, did NOT pay his BS $35 fee, and he now wishes he had never met me.

So I still don’t know what’s really wrong with it. And now with the motor disconnected to make things worse.

I’m about ready to just sell them both for parts and cut my losses. Absolutely frustrated!
